How do I duplicate to tape after dedup duplicate to another dedupe folder job?

OK I have I have backups going on Building A dedupe folder then duplicate job automatiaclly to building B dedupe and that is working well so far. Now I need that backup job duplicated to tape in Building B from the 2nd dedupe folder. On my first attempts it said.

The requested source duplicate backup sets catalog record could not be found.  Perhaps the media containing the source backup sets was previously deleted. "Perhaps?"

Any thoughts?

  • @Timo: What Macpiano wants to achieve is possible. This is competely supported if you are usng CASO-MMS setup.

     

    @ Macpiano: Please perform the following steps.

    1) First ensure that the DeDupes folder on both the servers are shared with eachother. You can check this by going to Backup Exec Devices tab, right click on the DeDupe folder and check the Sharing tab.

    I am sure you have done this as you duplicate to Dedupe are working fine.

    2) As the tape drive is attached to the MMS, create a Policy with three templates on the MMS server.

    Template 1: Full backup of the data to the DeDupe folder on the MMS. In this job you can use the Client side Dedupe option so that less data will be transfered over your network.

    Template 2: Duplicate the data from DeDupe of MMS to DeDupe of CASO server

    Template 3: Duplicate the data from DeDupe of CASO to the tape drive

     

    The reason why I am asking you to create all the jobs on the same server where the tape drive is created because currently we have found this as a Known issue and will be looking forward to fix in the future versions of BE.

    If you still want to create the jobs on CASO only then you can also do the following steps:

    1) First ensure that the DeDupes folder on both the servers are shared with eachother. You can check this by going to Backup Exec Devices tab, right click on the DeDupe folder and check the Sharing tab.

    I am sure you have done this as you duplicate to Dedupe are working fine.

    2) Create a Policy with TWO templates on the CASO server.

    Template 1: Full backup of the data to the DeDupe folder on the CASO server.

    Template 2: Duplicate the data from DeDupe of CASO  to DeDupe of MMS server

     

    Than manually create the Duplicate job on MMS to duplicate the data from DeDupe of MMS to Tape drive.

     

    Hope the information answers all your queries.

     

    Thanks,
